Reproduction and recruitment of northern largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides salmoides) in reservoirs in the southern Great Plains may be limited by low water levels and meteorological conditions (1, 2, 3).
I considered overlap in diet between and within subspecies and species of Micropterus to be very high for all except the monotypic-polytypic comparisons of northern and Florida largemouth bass in April 1977 and of spotted bass in March 1978 (Table 2).
However, the existence of overlap is not evidence of competitive interaction (although it may indicate the potential for competition) and actually may suggest the opposite — avoidance of competition (16).

LARGEMOUTH BASS (MICROPTERUS SALMOIDES) The largemouth bass is a species of elongated, predatory sunfishes which are highly prized as game fish.
The basic rule of thumb in identifying the largemouth, is that the mouth extends slightly past the eye (when seen from the side) and the markings are more diffused from other species.
All Micropterus species are actually quite prolific and breeding is probably possible in captivity, particularly in public aquaria.
